Boston Proper

Great discussions yesterday at the Meetup and dinner afterwards. I talked with a few people about the idea of holding a Drupal Jam Session every so often, like once or twice a month. The idea would be to host a "working meeting", where people come expecting to work on their own projects, but also have time for "lightening talks" where they share any particular challenges they are facing and seek input on how to tackle them.

The goal of these Jam Sessions is two-fold:
1. Get out and socialize with fellow Drupalers, thereby reinforcing the local Drupal community

It was good to see everyone at the Boston meetup last night. There were some awesome presentations of member's drupal sites + I was impressed with the group dynamic. Everyone was ready to dig in + help with member's questions and ideas. I especially liked this site: http://www.thehvoice.com which uses panels + node queue to a achieve a nice energy.

I know I have asked this question before, and I got great responses about hosting a drupal site.
I have one site, at one domain, at SiteGround, and though there is no phone support, I haven't had any problems ... yet.
The last thread warned us to stay away from Site5, and so I will.

My brother wants a web-site for his small business, and based on his needs: web-hosting, email, bandwidth, etc.
I wanted to find something that would meet his needs, start small and add services as needed.
There's going to be about 4 domain names just sharing the same drupal instance.

Experienced Drupal developer needed for a start-up online magazine (similar in design to the onion). The site needs re-theming, and module upgrades. You must have experience with custom themes and modules. This is a Contract position and you must be able to work offsite. We would prefer to work with someone in New England. Please respond with links to examples of work and hourly rate.

I am looking for someone who can assist with development and theming of a couple existing Drupal sits. I work on some start-up companies and also for paid clients. I hope to find someone who is interested in a long-term opportunity (either as a partner or employee; no preference) but would be willing to start out working as a contractor (for cash and/or stock options).
